Giving Sneaky a Bad Name

I've been trying to get Gabby to clean her room. She was given a week and if it wasn't clean, she would lose her Twilight posters. She lost them. The second week, she would lose her MP3 player. She lost it. The 3rd week, she would lose her Nintendo DS. She lost it. P-Dub set up a shoe box last week named "Gabby's Punishment Box". Everything she loses goes in there. So, last night I needed the shoe box to help me with a craft (more on this later). So, I started to take Gabby's stuff out of the shoebox...and the MP3 player was not in there. She had just gone to bed and I marched into her room...and demanded, "Where's the MP3 player?!" She lowered her head and said, "I took it to school." I asked where it was. She said in her backpack. DOUBLE WAMMY! Not only did she sneak the MP3 player out of her punishment box, but she also took it to school! I got the MP3 player out of her backpack and said, "You're not doing ANYTHING for a VERY long TIME!!!"

I was sooo disappointed in her. She definitely got my "sneaky" gene. I was a very sneaky child. I lied to my mom all the time.

BUT!!!...What I want to know is how is she sooooo BAD at it!!!??? I mean what the hell? She's not very bright when it comes to "sneaking". If it was me? I would have snuck the MP3 player to school and then made sure I PUT IT BACK when I got home!!!

I'm just disappointed all the way around.

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
